Day 13: A Luoi to P'Roa

So after a gruelling day we had another tough day, over 100km with two massive climbs in quick succession. Map my ride showed long periods between the hills but after some mega downhills where unfortunately a chicken perished and a rider fell we were straight back up another steep climb. The heat of the morning was replaced by misty mountain tops as we pushed further up and up through some of the most astounding scenery, with barely any traffic interrupting the ride. A proper experience of a day with testing up hill struggles but beautiful views keeping us going all the way. Trials and tribulations of the previous tough day have almost evaporated and spirits are high, let's see what tomorrow has in store.

What H2H Is

H2H - Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City - is a charity bicycle ride that first took place in 2009. It is organized by volunteers and the funds raised go towards Vietnamese organizations that work with poor and disadvantaged children. The ride lasts for a month, and takes place every April.
